Nyssa sinensis

Chinese Tupelo

Commonly known as Chinese Tupelo, this is a handsome, deciduous tree grown for its fantastic form and striking autumn colours. Leaves emerge a fresh green in spring and age to become glossy green. As autumn progresses they develop impressive shades of orange, red, and pink before falling. It grows with a pyramidal shape to about 5 m tall and 4 m wide and can be trimmed as necessary. Best results with this tree are achieved when it is planted in full sun on a well-drained, semi-sheltered site. It is tolerant of frost, cool climates, and heavy soils. The Chinese Tupelo makes a lovely specimen and is well suited to including in a mixed planting, or using in an avenue planting.
